It is. When an amplifier is driven into clipping the high-order harmonics
increase significantly and can damage the tweeter. This is no myth, it has
happened many times.


What's the symptom of the damage? As post below (Speaker Imbalance), I'm
suffering a 'quieter' HF unit. I'd have thought it's all or nothing?
